It's been quite a while since I despised the use of a side character quite as much as Yasutaka, who pretty much appears out of thin air as a plot device to circumvent the unlikeliness of masked men being able to kidnap a teenage girl in the middle of a Japanese shopping center.

For a guy with so much success, Sanka father's planning seems to lack sophistication. I was thinking he'd just threaten to buy the Furuya shrine and bulldoze it to guilt Rea into going back or something.

Actually, given what we know about Rea, staging a kidnapping at a place that would work pretty well. The brazenness would catch most everyone off-guard and you could be out of there before anyone really reacts. Also this was in a town away from their current location, so identifying the kidnappers would be much more difficult.

Though I do agree that the bulldozer idea would probably have worked better. But I also have a feeling that Grandpa probably knew Rea's grandmother or grand-aunt. I think that's who Sada will end up being. It'll add an interesting element later. But he showed no limitation on attacking the family of one of her previous friends, so there has to be a reason he didn't go straight after the family.

cat hair boy still doing rea's observe & protect while rea enjoy a normal life.
babu unleash cat-leaf-ball while cat hair boy wonder rea do it as well?

now rea's father plan some "spayed or neutered" etc ideas or worse to cat hair boy to ruin rea.

Yay! We're back to Rea and undead diary.
Furuya was acting like a total perv with that video camera.
Those suspicious looking guys who tried to kidnap Rea were in for a surprise.
I'm totally glad she has super strength.
Poor Furuya, hope Rea saves him fast from her crazy father.

Rea was more interesting before being zombified. In episode 8 she was just a straight up moeblob.

Rea is happy, happy people are boring, that is why soap operas end when the MC finally attain happines (after 100+ episodes of being plain miserable) or if the sopa opera has no real ending, they are killed in an accident and new MC are introduced.

Quote:

Doesn't Furuya's family find it odd that Rea is eating hydrangea leaves? Or did I miss that they know she is a zombie?

The father is a buddist monk, his son loves horror flicks since 5 and his daughter sleeps in the same kind of cloths people were buried in (before cremation become a common practice) japan. I think he concluded many years ago "I cannot understand this new generation". So if his son gets pregnant the most rich girl in town and she eats leaves for breakfast his conclusion seems to be "let them do their thing, as long as they are happy I am happy".

I agree that zombie Rea is pretty boring, and can not even compare to appeal with Wanko... at least the creepy incestuous pedo-dad is back to force some angsty charm into his spoiled (otherwise) daughter

If it wasn't for Wanko's sexual frustration, pedo-dad LULZ and Shinbou/Ounuma-wannabe direction, I would have already dropped this one

It's natural for some people to be feeling as they do. Rea is happy for the time being. If a character becomes happy, it's due to a lack of conflict, and conflict is what makes stories intriguing. The conflict that was present when she was alive was at that of a much higher level than anything that's going on right now, so I can understand why she seems less interesting now to some. The anime won't be getting too far into things with there being such a tiny amount of episodes left, but I can assure you that things got a lot more interesting later on in the manga -- the new conflict is even more engaging than the initial conflict, imo.

I've been dead for quite some time here, and now here i am again, being revived by this series as a zombie forumer hehe.

Must say, Sankarea is a good series with nice, not-rushed pace. Love how the stories went with each episode. This is one zombie series that is not about apocalypse, but about the intertwining circumstances between each character, and as the series progresses, so do the storyline that revive back my love for anime.

I don't feel the need to comment each episode, like i did before, coz i believed that everyone else that love this series as much as i do shares the same positive things about this series. Just coming back to show my support for Sankarea, and if only there is a "like" button in here, i'll surely give this a hundred likes.

Rea's strength knows no bounds. Though I'd like to feel sorry for the guys at the receiving end, they deserved it nonetheless. I wonder how Chihiro will fare against Rea's father, though, considering that they have to change certain details if they want the outcome of the battle between the two to be the same as in the manga.

And the intro was misleading once again. Blood dripping, yet without an actual casualty in sight, or even an explanation of who it was (though I don't think it could be anyone but Chihiro, especially not since we see 'him' walking to his home at the shrine).

Funny how his dad doesn't realize Rea is eating poisonous leaves and merely thinks she's a vegetarian. I guess that's why he's not a botanist...

Next episode seems to be all about Mero. And that is fine with me, as Mero looks like a very interesting character.
